The

However,
to make the dish, makers need to be skillful. Fresh shrimp will be
peeled off covers, then grinded and mixed with husked pork and sliced
onion as well as spices for about 30 minutes. The next move is to spread
wonton, put the mixture of shrimp, pork and spices on it and wrap them.
And makers then just cook them in oil.
People often added fried tomatoes and coriander on the fried wonton dumplings to make it more good-looking and tasty.
The
last phase is making the sauce. Eaters can enjoy it with chili sauce
mixed with soya sauce and vinegar. Salad and mayonnaise are also needed
to feast diners’ tongues.
